Why not use them all–VXX, TAIL, and TLT. They are all going to behave differently. This month TAIL is up 1% while VXX is down 7%. In March VXX was up 102.76% TAIL was up 11.18%. TAILs worst month this year has been down 4.61%, VXX was down 18.12% so TAIL is something you can be “wrong” on and still be ok, it can be painful to be “wrong” on VXX. But, if we have another downturn like March would be pretty nice to have something around that is up 100%. Would revisit the idea of having a max exposure to VXX of 60% that can get pretty hard to stomach sometimes. You can also backtest using VIXY has a longer history.
